Yes, it looks genuine. Just remember, impact glass from many locations is sometimes sold as Moldavite. True Moldavite only comes from the impact that occurred in Bavaria Germany, and was ejected into the atmosphere and landed in areas including the Moldau River valley in the Czech Republic.

But as i sayed iam a novice and cant really feel it all the time, do you need like kind of adapatation to it? should everyone feel it the first time they touch it even tho they dont know nothing about crystals and vibes?
cheers

I don't know about that. I have sold many of them and I notice that I get a warm feeling in my pocket book when I do.
